the oasis was inspired by the site’s historical railway community and the current abandoned site where bits of nature pushed through concrete. this contrasting characteristic was used to create a sparkle in this urban housing community.

from growing various secret gardens and meadows through steel structures, to having a movie/ entertainment square to meditation spaces, backyard oasis is able to bring a harmonious atmosphere through a juxtaposition of serene and animated elements. 

the oasis is a place of both zen and play. 

the space is filled with an abundance of different niches like garden centres, food processing centres, entertainment square, pet daycare/spas, skateparks and waterparks. everything is within walking distances to all residences to provide a chance for one to experience nature throughout their days and whereabouts.
